1st time here. Energetic atmosphere with live music super loud. We were given the option of sitting outside in an enclosed heated patio. Super quiet with just us & 2 other tables used. Food was really good and Kristen was a great server. Will definitely be back.

The service, food & drink were all excellent! Used to practically live in this place in the 90's when it was Lily Flanagan's. The name and decor has changed but the hometown atmosphere is just as good as I remember it! Seeing Lanny behind the bar also was a nice connection to the past. The beers were nice & cold and Lanny was right there with a refill without having to ask. We also ordered some appetizers, which were all excellent. We ordered a big pretzel, mozzarella sticks, and wings...and everything was great and the portion sizes were large enough to share! I don't live in the area anymore, but I will definitely go there again when I meet up with my friends!

Went at Christmastime more than once. The pub was decorated, warm and inviting, especially with the fireplace. The lamb meatballs in pita was a special. The aioli really made the dish. You will love this dish if you like Moroccan spices. My friend fell in love with the Shepherds Pie. As for the French onion soup, I personally prefer the broth a little thicker and with more salt and flavor, but the topping was perfect. Everything is made fresh and the servers are nice and attentive. Anxious to try more dishes.

Went and had lunch with my wife food and service were very good. The hot honey pork belly appetizer is my recommendation. The Ruben sandwich was very tasty and their fries are very very good .

Went there as a walk-in on a Saturday just to try out a new place. And our server Nicole was excellent. She gave great recommendations and awesome service. She was so funny and it really made the experience even better. The food was really good! And the drinks weren’t bad either. Everything came out in a good time limit. We will definitely be back!!!

Food was delicious, service was great. Have ordered for pick up several times and always loved it but coming in was certainly a better choice. Seasonal cocktails are a must try
